Genetic relations among Tripsacum species revealed by genomic variation

We studied genomic variation among several Tripsacum spp. and teosinte species in collaboration with Floragenex Inc., Portland, Oregon, USA. Materials were 18 Tripsacum clones from Mexico and South America, seven teosinte race populations, and one tropical maize inbred (tables 1, 3, and S1). A preliminary analysis revealed interesting results for relationships between Zea and Tripsacum.
